I don't really care about the private lives of the actors. I just hope they're happy and they continue putting out good works.

As for being quiet... I always love to talk about my favorite scenes, but who would want to listen to me prattling about that every day?

I believe that kind of love does exist in real life. There are many couples that stay married to old age and still have deep love for each other.

I'm glad you feel that way! WKX is a complex character and I hope you enjoy the ride as you slowly learn more and more about him, as well as about ZZS and the rest of the story.

The character development of the two leads and the evolution of their relationship are amazing. Don't think they're going to stay the same throughout the drama. People get hooked at different stages of their relationship. Some from the start, some from episode 6, some episode 9, some episode 12.

I survive by watching WOH reaction videos and following the leads's activities (interviews, livestreams) and watching some of their other dramas. And don't ask me how many times I've rewatched WOH itself by now.

Returning to Word of Honor: Where's the next hit drama?

A good article focusing on WOH"s chief producer and scriptwriter. It goes into detail about how WOH came about. Very interesting.

In a top 10 list of most watched C-dramas of the first half of 2021, WOH was in 9th place, far behind other dramas from iQiyi and WeTV. These two lists probably have different ways of counting the views.

In the order of my preference: Story of Yanxi Palace, Once Upon a Time in Lingjian Mountain, Arsenal Military Academy, The Legends, Dance of the Sky Empire. I haven't seen his recent ones.

I like him. I've watched five of his dramas, I think more than any other actor.

It seems to me that the four of them (GJ, ZZH, XZ, WYB) are now interchangeable as top four in many lists. ZYL is floating around in top ten.

I wonder why Bai Yu is not as popular as the other five. I've seen him in "The Long Night" (in addition to "Guardian") and he was great.

The article was written in April and was based on a list released in January, so I don't think ZZH or GJ was on their radar yet.

His character development is amazing. And given that they don't shoot scenes in order, it's all the more remarkable that ZZH is able to keep track of where ZZS's frame of mind should be at any given scene.

I was so sad when I rewatched that scene.

As a fan of ZZS and ZZH, I'm happy that most of your comment focuses on them.

That's awesome. I wish I could speak Chinese. There's a wealth of WOH content on bilibili to explore (which unfortunately I can't enjoy myself). On the following YouTube video, look for a comment by the channel owner, there's a long list of recommended WOH bilibili content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOlmjjgznsQ

I love particularly ZZH's acting in that scene. He looks like he's about to cry, thinking about both his companions: the fact that ZCL recently lost his family and his home, and the fact that WKX must've had horrible Spring Festivals all those years in the Ghost Valley. At least that's how I read his expression.

(If you don't speak Chinese,) these only have Chinese subtitles so you have to select English auto-translate. It's not perfect, but you'll be able to follow the gist of the conversation.

They do, don't they! We're so lucky to get these two talented actors play these two roles.

Please do share your thoughts about those moments. I'd be happy to read them.

I don't know why, but I like seeing angry A-Xu. The moment here, the one on the balcony in the rain. the table-flipping.
